Certified translations

Certified translations

As a publicly appointed and sworn translator of English, Spanish and German, I am authorised to issue certified translation / sworn translations that are accepted by all German authorities and private entities (e.g. notaries, courts, state/government offices, banks, employers, etc.).

Beyond that, a certified translation gives you the confidence of having a high-quality and unbiased translation that you can trust, for example if you want to check the details of a foreign-language contract or notarial document before signing it.

In business and private contexts, translations by sworn translators guarantee objectivity and impartiality when it comes to translating references, reports, certificates, diplomas or expert opinions.

Accepted worldwide

Thanks to my status as a sworn translator in Germany and Spain and Chartered Linguist (UK) and my CIOL and BDÜ memberships, the translations I issue are accepted by authorities, courts and private recipients in most countries.

If you received specific information on the formal requirements regarding your translations, you are welcome to forward it to me so that I can answer your questions or check directly with the recipient to make sure my translations get accepted.

I will also be happy to advise you on questions concerning the international use of legal documents and their translations, for example with regard to notarisation, apostille, legalisation and other formal requirements in general.

PDF translation with electronic signature

As certified translations must bear the signature of a sworn translator, they are usually issued as hard copies and cannot simply be sent by email. However, a qualified electronic signature may be used instead of the conventional signature.

I can issue certified translations as digital documents (PDF files or other formats) with a qualified electronic signature in conformance with eIDAS EU Regulation 910/2014 based on a certificate issued by the German chamber of notaries. Please check with the recipient if they accept electronically signed documents.

In urgent cases, sometimes an electronically signed document sent by email may be accepted to meet a deadline if the corresponding hard copy is then sent by post later on.
